賣火柴的小女孩
It was snowy and dark on a new year's Eve.
這是大年夜的晚上，天下著雪，又快黑了。

"Matches, matches!" the little girl cried in a low voice.
“火柴，賣火柴！”小女孩低聲喊道。
No one heard her when they were passing by.

She didn't sell any matches and no one gave her a coin.

When the matches were burning, she saw a warm stove, a delicious roast goose and a beautiful Christmas tree.
